JUST MARRIED.
Evidence That People Generally are Very
QGeer Creatures.

It'd Bits.
The had been married three weeks, anC
had Just gone to housekeeping. He was
starting down town one morning, an6
she followed him to the door. They had
their arms wrapped around each other
and she was saying:
ooh, Clarence, do you think it possible
that the day can ever come when we will
part in anger?"
"WhY, NO, little puss," be said. "Ot
course not; what put that olish ides in
to my little BRIDES head, eh?"
"Oh. nothing dearest. l was only
thinking how perfectly dreadful it would
be if one of US should speak harshly OF
the other"
"WeIl, don't think Of such wicked, Ut
terlY impossible things any MORE" he
said. "We can never, never quar- el.
~ know it, darling. GOOD bye, you
dear old precious, goodbye, and-ohi
wait second, Clarence. I've written q
note to mamma; can't you run around to
the house and leave it for her some time
to-day?"
"Why, yes, dearie; il have time"
"If you have time? Oh Clarence"
'What is it, little girlie?"
"Oh, to say if you have time to do
almost the very first errand your little
wife asks you to do"
swell, well, sissy, I'm awfully busy
now"
"Too busy to please me? Oh, Clarence,
you hurt my feelings So"
"Why, child, L"
"rm not child, Clarence; Pm mar
ried woman, and L"
"There, there, my pet. /"
"No, no, Clarence; if 1 was youl
p-p-et you'd try Toto"
"But, Mabel, do be reasonable"
"Oh, Clarence, don't speak to me so.'
"Mab,e, be sensible and -"
"Go on, Clarence, go on; break my
hesrt."
"Stuff and nonsense!"
"Oh, o-O-oh!"
"Whst have | said or done?"
"As if you need to ask! But go. Hate
me if you will, Clarence; -"
"This is rank nonsense!"
"I'n go back to mamma if you want mt
to. She loves me if you DON'T"
"You must be crszy!"
sob, yes, sheer ct me, ridicule me
Perhaps you had better strike mel"
He bangs the door, goes down the steps
on the jump, and races of mutterine
something about women being tht
| "queerest creatures"
OF course they'll make it up at noon
and they'll have many such little tiff ir
the years to come; and when they arr
old they'll say:
"We've lived together forty five yesr!
and never, no never, spoken cross wore
to each other in ell that time"

has both fenced and plowed and raised q
good crop. Bar has not said any
thing more to him. Mr.. Editor, your
Mobeetie correspondent speaks very
highly of Mr.. Creswell; aye, snd well he
may, fer that gentleman, to the best of
our knowledge and oy all we have heard
speak of him, is gentleman from the top
of his head to the bottom OF his feet.
1t is true that he gave the settlers en-
ployment when without his assistance
they would have had to tramp out of the
country, beg, steal or stsrve; and we as
latter settlers know how TO appreciate
his kindness. And now let US see what
this syndicate of foreigners has done.
Has he ever given the settlers employ
Has be given freely Of his beef, both at
his ranch and at his mess wagons? Has
he rounded up the settlers cows and
driven them 10 his, the settlers, door
when his men were on the round up?
inns at actual cost? We say that
the superintendent of the bar &C
ranch has done all this. Sold them pro-
visions at cost, sold them corn at cost
Just to accommodate them, because they

Mr.. McKinzie has given q number Of
settlers employment, such as making
posts, msking hay, clearing out water
tar Ks, building coHpeDs and buildings for
his out camps, taking down fences and
other labor He has favored the settlers
in many WAYS.
AnG Mr.. Editor, We as actual settlers
are at peace with the coWmen OF our
county, and we wish no outside influence
brought to bear against US. We knew
that when such articles IS the one We
refer TO, are scattered broad cast over the
country, they have tendency to keep
immigration from our county. We hsve
one of the best, II not the best county in
the Panhandle of Texas, we are inorganic,
ed as county at present, tut hope soon to
be organized, with the finest location for
county seat in the state. The plans
for cur town are now about COM
pleted, and will be presented to
the settlers for approval in few days
Our plans are such that every settler OF
the county can have an interest in the
county sort for the small sum of from
one to forty dollar shares. We leave NO
loophole for syndicates to goDble up our
town. Yours respectfully,

GENESIS 81" .
The Bible Puzzle that was Originated 100
Years ago.

The Bible Puzzle that was Originated 100
Years ago.
Over 100 years ago the following So
called "Genesis 81" WAS used to puzzle
Biblical scholars, and today, were it read
aloud in any mixed company, it is ques-
tionable if its fraudulent nature would be
discovered, so beautifully is the spirit
and language Of the Old Testament imi-
tated:
l. And it came to pass after these
things that Aorahsm sat in the door Of
his tent about the going down of the sun.
2. And behold man bowed down
with age, came from the wsy Of the will
derness, leaning on his staff.
8. And Abraham arose and met him,
and said unto him, Turn in, pray thee,
ard wash thy feet, and tarry all night, and
thou shalt arise early on the morrow and
60 thy way.
4. But the man said, Nay, for will
abide under this tree.
5. And Abrehsm pressed him greatly;
so that he turned, and they went into the
tent, and Abraham baked unleavened
bread and they did eat.
Hand when Abraham saw that the
man blessed not God, he said unto him,
Wherefore dost not thou not worship the
m st high God, creator Of heaven and
earth?
Z. And the man answered and said: 81
do not worship the God thou speskest of;
neither do l call upon his name; for l
have made to myself God, which abideth
always in my house and provideth me
with ali things"
s And Abraham's zeal was kindled
against the man, and he arose and drove
him forth with blows into the wilderness.
g. And at midnight God called unto
Abraham, saying: Abraham, where is
the stranger"
TO- Ana Abraham answered and said i:
Lord, ne would not worship Thee, neither
would he call upon Thy name; therefore
have 1 driven him out from before my
face into the wilderness.
IL. And God said, Have l not borne
with him these hundred and ninety and
eight years, and pourished and clothed
him, notwithstanding his rebellion
against me, and couldst not thou, that
art thy self sinner, bear with him one
night.
u. And Abraham said, Let not the
anger of my Lord wax against his ser
fSAb3 AZ. 1ofO oAhIOui IOlSlfO hnSJ
pray Thee.
Is. And Abraham arose and went forth
into the wilderness, and sought diligently
for the man, and found him, and re-
turned with him to the tent, and when he
had entertained him kindly he sent him
away on the morrow with gifts.
IA. And God spoke again unto Abrahsm
saving. for this thy sin shall thy seed De
affi cted 400ya ars in Strange land.i
10. But tor the repentance will
deliver them, snd they shall come Iortf
with power, and with glsdness Of heart
and with much substance.

Solid Peace Between the Actual Settlers
and tho Oowmen.
OCHILTREE COUNTY, TEXAS, Nov. 20. 1887.
To the Editor of the Gazette.
We see in the issue CT your paper Of
October 81 an article headed "More EVic-
t ons Oy Scotch Syndicste-Atter the
Honest Settlers" We believe IN giving
the devil his due, be he ever so black.
Then again we believe in giving g base
calumniator what he deserves. We have
been an actual settler on Wolf creek, in
Ochiltree county, for q year and half
and must say that your correspondent has
either been misinformed by some malici-
Gus person or that he is malicious
fslsiher himself, for to our knowledge
Mr.. Mckenzie, the superintendent,
or anyone connected with the ranch
has never given any such order to the set
tiers of this county. Il is true where
two or three of the settlers may be con-
cerned, wherein the &C Land and
Cattle Company thought that these same
settlers were infringing on their (the
bar CO. rights, and the bar &C did prose
cute these settlers for infringing on these
same rights. One Of these parties did
agree sitter the trial to give up what he
claimed SIS his section, and went into
agreement for the same. Mr.. Mckenzie
told him (the settler that he did not
wish him to leaye, that he might stay
on the section as long as he
liked, that he did not wish to
give the settlers any trouble. This hap
pened over year ago. Since then we
know of but one party who has been or
dered not to do any blowing or fencing,
bar c G claiming to have said section
leased. 1t is railroad section, but the
settler that was on 1t is still there, and

Eiopes With His Hired Man.
Special to the Gazette.
SHERMAN, Tex, Nov PA. E. Steph-
enson, prominent young farmer, who
lives q mile west of Van Alstyne, came to
Sherman this morning, accompanied by
his friends, to confer with the officers for
the purpose of taking steps toward the
arrest Of one S. G. Walker, who eleped
with his wife on last Monday night. Mr..
Stephenson relates his sad story about as
follows: About four years ago he was
married to his wife, who was quite q
young girl, st the home Of her parents
near Elmont, and brought her to his
home near Van Alstyne, where they have
lived quite happily until recently.
About the beginning of the present
year he hired man to work on his farm,
giving him portion of the crop for his
services and permitting him to board and
lodge in his house. The crop has been
nearly harvested and disposed Of, out Of
which Walker got $3.50 in cash, which he
took with him on last Monday. On last
Monday Mrs. Stephenson told her hus-
bsnd that she wanted to go
TO her mothers home TO get her to assist
her IN doing some sewing and he went
with her and returned home with the IN
derst1nding that he would take her back
